you can push entities with propellers or flaps

[ripe coral]

Be more specific

[scarlet thunder]

He probably means use create mod fan to move ship

Like fan place on the world

[plush bough]

he actually means that it should be possible to make the motion of flap blocks or propeller bearings, push entities like the base create encased fan does

i would like something like this and also effects like particles to actually feel the propellers motion but anyways we maybe getting all this on melting point

or not, depends on how angry is priestoffern

[prime monolith]

Ma man just wants to play aero

[supple nymph]

well

this feature is literally just polish

i don't care about it

and won't be added

until like

the end of the melting point development cycle

if not later

[half parrot]

sorry guys i thought it was straightforward

what i was saying like

know how you can produce lift by spinning the uhh

the thing i forgot the name, wing?

lets call it wing for this, by spinning the wing, producing lift

this also pushes entities for realism sake

[supple nymph]

that would be hell to implement

wing producing lift when spun isn't a behaviour that's directly coded into them

it's a behaviour that happens because of how wing physics work

so there isn't a if wingSpinning() { ... } anywhere to conveniently plug into

so you would have to constantly have every single wing in the game

check if it is spinning

[half parrot]

honestly havent messed around yet with the physics with the wings thing yet

but i think its easy?

just implement a hitbox in front of the area of the wing's total area connected by a common block(s)

[supple nymph]

that's not the issue

the issue is that you would have to add checks to all wing attachements

[half parrot]

and gradually change the player's velocity

or entity

[supple nymph]

to check if they're spinning

[half parrot]

oh that

[supple nymph]

this would be easy to do with propellers, since they're blocks

[half parrot]

yea

[supple nymph]

but spinning wings aren't that simple

regardless

propellers should get counter torque in the next clockwork update

[half parrot]

oh wow

thats cool
